Watch: hapless Humza refuses to back the Lionesses

Oh dear. Hapless Humza Yousaf has tripped up again. The flailing First Minister of Scotland was today asked by Radio Clyde News if he will be watching the Women’s World Cup final on Sunday between England and Spain. Yousaf initially enthusiastically declared that ‘I will be watching the game for sure’. Yet when the reporter asked: ‘But you’ll not necessarily be cheering them on?’ a clearly irritated Yousaf immediately changed his mind and began to backtrack:

Cheering them on – if you wish. I don’t know why you’re so obsessed with who I’ll be cheering on. I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to watch the game or not be able to watch the game, given that I’m busy on Sunday. If I do get to watch the game I wish both teams the best of luck.

Graceless as ever. Talk about being bitter together…
